When applying for a UAE tourist visa, whether a standard or a multiple-entry five-year visa, applicants must submit a recent photograph along with a valid passport.

The photo must be no older than six months and should measure 40mm x 35mm, capturing 70% to 80% of the face.

Key technical specifications include looking directly at the camera, maintaining natural skin tones, and printing on high-resolution photo-quality paper.

The background should be plain and light-colored, with even lighting to avoid shadows or reflections.

For those wearing glasses, it’s crucial that the eyes are clearly visible without any flash reflections. Head coverings are allowed for religious reasons, but facial features must remain clearly visible.

These guidelines apply not only to tourist visas but also to residence visa applications and Emirates ID renewals. Adhering to these standards is vital for a smooth and successful application process.
